An intensive repair agent for damaged hair.

My Daughter rarely gets this excited about a new product. But her first
text to me after trying our new deep conditioner mask was:

That mask feels awesome! Carley is my first test subject. If it doesn’t
get past her, it doesn’t go any further.

Since this product is so new, we only have a few comments. This customer
is a guy and a long term customer. I swear this is real!

My hair,
at 47, is long, full, and lustrous. Women constantly remark on my curls
(which I never knew I had until letting my hair get long after retiring
from the Navy).

So, I am interested in only the simplest, but best, natural products to
keep my hair soft, full of body, and sexy (yeah, I said it). Your soap
does a great job of cleaning,
but cleans so well that my hair is sticky right afterward. No worries,
though, as a quick head shake whips out the excess water and then I use
your conditioner, letting
it sit for several minutes before rinsing out.

It always feels great afterward. Soft. I enjoy running my hands through
it. So do women.

But, this mask. Wow. A new level of silky softness. Almost creamy soft.
Even my gray hairs (rough to the touch) feel softer. I will do
one more day (making three in a row)
and then move to 2x/week afterward. I imagine this will turn my hair
into the sexiest head of hair in Kentucky. Probably make some of the
ladies jealous, too.

Peace.

When I
asked for permission to use his comments RG replied: Sure. Just sign it
“man comfortable with sexy being dialed up to 10.”

and
another follow up. BTW, third day of treatment and my hair is truly
amazing. Body, bounce, and begging to be stroked. It’s that nice now. 🙂

Yes we have found this helps all hair types:

I am very
very and I mean very happy with the repair

mask. Let
me explain I am a black woman with

fine hair
but may hair is dry (kinda like cotton). So

it tends
to tangle easily in its natural state. I usually

have to
relax or blow dry to control it. The first time

I used the
mask I washed my hair and then used

mask at
home. I then went to my hair dresser with

damp hair
for her to blow dry. When she did may

hair came
out so thick and healthy…mind you I

do not
blow dry too often because it tends to

break my
hair. She was impressed and ask

if I
change my diet, if I’m taking supplements

and etc. I
told her I am just using a natural

product.
As we speak now my hair is wet and

I just
washed out the mask I also found about

a
tablespoon amount or the “keratin treatment”

and I have
put that in may hair. I will be going

to see he
in an hour for my blow out. My

hair feels
so good right now.

Is this just another Moroccan Oil (Argan Oil) Product?

When we looked at Argan Oil products we were surprised how little they
use. Most of the time Argan Oil was so far down the ingredient
list that you could only be getting a drop or two from each use. You
see, the ingredient list is not in alphabetical order, but by the actual
amount of the ingredient in the product (prominence). These products
were Argan in name only. Of course, we know why.
At $90 to $150 per gallon, it is pricey. And often it is hard to know if
you are actually getting all Argan oil. Suppliers are known to lie
and bastardize with other oils. This is why we are very picky about
where we buy our supplies.
We use the best, Virgin Argan Oil which is $150 a gallon.

Argan Oil is one of the most precious oils in the world. It comes from a
very hardy tree that only grows in Moroccan in the desert.
The Argan Trees only produce every other year. The seeds/nuts are
incredibly hard. They require a lot of hand labor to get the oil out.
Many areas of Morocco rely on this oil as their only income source. We
use it in several of our moisturizers and are very familiar with
Argan Oil. It is amazing and we love it!

Argan Oil is world renown as a curative oil for the hair. It is loaded
with nutrients that the hair can use to become healthy.
The difficult part is getting those benefits into your hair.

So why not just buy Argan Oil and apply it to your hair? Because our
skin and hair cannot absorb oils by themselves. When you apply
an oil directly to your hair, it leaves a film and just catches dirt
from the air and feels greasy. The key is getting the Argan oil to
absorb
into your hair and scalp. For that to happen Argan has to be in a true
moisturizer base. One thing we do know how to do is make a moisturizer.
MAKING A TRUE MOISTURIZER IS ALMOST A LOST ART.

AND we wanted to make a deep conditioner with Virgin Argan Oil as the
primary ingredient. No one does this!

Ingredients:

Reverse Osmosis purified water: virtually all skin care
products ‘say’ they use purified water. But the real deal is reverse
osmosis purified water.
This mean ZERO contaminants which means the starting point is pure. It’s
expensive to do (goes through 5 filters, which have to be changed
often),
but it is the only water we use. We use the waste water from this
purifying process to water our flowers and landscaping. So there is no
waste.
Don’t some products use distilled water? Yes but distilled water is
expensive to make (heat is used to boil the dirty water and stream is
collected).
The problem we have with distilled water is it has a lower pH due to the
extra ions added during the process. We prefer to work with pH neutral
water.
To me there is no more perfect water than R-O water. I remember the 1st
time we made soap with it. As we poured the soap is was so creamy! It
looked
like home made ice cream right before it gets solid. It’s one of our
special secrets to how good our products are.

Virgin Argan Oil (15%) (Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil) One of the
most precious carrier oils in the world.

Bamboo Extract (Bambusa vulgaris): The bamboo stems are high in silica
deposits which give smoothness, shininess and strength to hair
(and helps the scalp too). We use a full 10% of this very expensive
extract.

BTMS (Behentrimonium Methosulfate Cetearyl Alcohol) This is a
sulfate free ingredient. BTMS Conditioning Emulsifier is an excellent
cationic
self-emulsifier and conditioner for both hair and skin care. It is
naturally derived from Colza oil and is noted for its exceptional
mildness.
BTMS Conditioning Emulsifier offers innovative properties to
formulations as both a mild primary emulsifier and an excellent
conditioning agent.

Rhodiola rosea: Extract from the golden root plant (Rhodiola
rosea). Strengthens the hair by restoring elasticity to the hair fiber.
Has anti-frizz properties and helps fight against the damage caused by
photo-aging and other factors. We use a full 5% of this very expensive
extract.

Glycerin (vegetable). What skin care product doesn’t benefit
from Glycerin? Problem is most store bought and even high end
moisturizers use
animal derived Glycerin. You don’t even want to know how they make this
glycerin. Unless the label specifically says vegetable it is almost
always animal derived. And not from the parts of an animal most people
would ever consider eating. And God forbid if vegetarians ever|
knew most skin care products they use contain animal by-products. Yuck!

Panthenol (2%) Panthenol is present in all living cells in the
form of Pantothenic acid
which is a constituent of Co-enzyme A. A deficiency in
Panthothenic acid results in dermatological and many physiological
disorders. Pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) is a natural constituent of
healthy hair.
Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) will convert to pantothenic acid (vitamin B5)
in hair. Panthenol conditions the hair without build up.

Cetyl Stearyl Alcohol (vegetable) this is a waxy vegetable
ingredient used to give the moisturizers a bit of heft and contact feel.

Germall Plus (4/10’s of 1%) (diazolidinyl Urea,
3-Iodo-2-propylbutylcarbarmate) (a vegetable derived preservative to
keep our product fresh) only
needs 4/10’s of one percent to keep our product safe. Look before you
ask, no totally natural preservative really protects products from
bacteria.
We don’t like using Parabens. and since we pH balance our moisturizers
we are limited in our choice of preservatives.
What’s great about this one is so little is needed to afford protection.

Lavender Oil

Why don’t we use silicone? Silicone is an ingredient that is
in practically every skin care product and especially hair care
products. Silicone is |
also known as dimethicone. But it has several other chemical names and
forms. What is does is make things slick. It is the active ingredient in
those anti-gas products people take. Silicone makes the big
manufacturers job easy, since they can fill containers fast without
worrying about
bubbles or foam. We don’t use silicone, because it also leaves a film on
the skin and hair. For hair care our worry was it seals the hair and
actually starves the hair of nutrients.

We do not use Phthalates: Ever wonder how most products can
last years and years on the retail shelf? There’s this secret almost
unpronounceable
ingredient called Phthalates. It used to be only used to make plastics
stronger and more flexible. But recently it has been revealed that this
mystery
ingredient is used to also ensure fragrances stay fresh smelling in
cosmetic products for years. And here’s the kicker, our government
doesn’t
require manufacturers to even put this ‘poison’ on the label. But the
secret ingredient was revealed when scientists were trying to figure out
why
this chemical was turning up in baby urine. Everything we ship is made
fresh, and we only use natural essences so no need to use Phthalates.
Sorry if we sound smug, but the more we examine the products being sold
as good for us the more we find they aren’t good for us.

pH neutral: And why is this important? Although we use
ingredients that have an acid pH, the finished conditioner is pH
neutral, like all of our
moisturizers. We believe the skin is actually stressed by acids.
Virtually all moisturizers on the market are acid. We wondered why? If
acids are so
good for the skin as these products claim, why does it feel so good to
take a swim in the ocean? Why does ocean water help your hair too. Ocean
water pH is very much the opposite of acid. Slightly alkaline. Why is it
recommended to keep swimming pool water slightly alkaline? There is a
whole line of thinking now that promotes alkalines. We believe the skin
and all of nature loves alkaline and hates acids. If the ocean were to
all
of a sudden become slightly acid, mostly it would be a dead body of
water. Forget this nonsense of the ‘acid mantle’. Our bodies when
healthy,
are pH neutral to slightly alkaline. Of course we really know the reason
for this acid fantasy. Manufacturers love acids because this extends the
shelf life to decades. Our products are made a shipped fresh with a one
year shelf life.

Margarine versus Butter?What
does this teach us about skin care products? We were told for
generations that Margarine (made with partially
hydrogenated corn oil) was good for us. And butter wasn’t. Now science
is telling us to eat the butter and skip the margarine. We should have
known how bad margarine was for us, when we knew we could leave it on
the kitchen counter and it never went bad. Same goes for most skin
care products that come with almost unlimited shelf life. How do they do
that? With chemicals and acids and God know what else is in there,
that’s how.

Most of our ingredients are as close to natural as possible. We avoid
overly processed ingredients. Processing means heat and that destroys
the goodness in these precious ingredients we use.

We also include a free FULL SIZE bar of our Natural shea
butter non-drying soap with each jar. A great facial and
body soap.
An $8.00 value if purchases singly.
This Natural soap has to be tried to be believed. It is
nothing short of wonderful.

No animal ingredients or testing EVER! We also get assurances from our
suppliers that all of our raw ingredients are not animal derived or
any animal testing done there either.

Most skin care products you buy to use today, were made in large
factories years ago and have been in storage. Everything we ship was
made
in small batches within a few weeks of shipping. Fresh matters! Quality
ingredients matter!

Now keep in mind it is legal in this country to put one drop of an
ingredient into a product and name it after that ingredient.
WE DON’T EVER DO THAT. It might be legal, but it isn’t moral. Besides in
our mind if a product works we will get reorders.

Best if used within one year of receipt. I’ll bet no skin care product
you have bought from a store was made within the last year.
Most of the products were made years ago. We find we can better control
our quality if we make products as they are used.
Fresh just makes for better skin care products. Our families all use our
products. We only sell what we would use.

Love this stuff! I have more gray then pepper hair that is thinning. I'm in my 40s, so I definitely have changes happening. This mask is great. It doesn't leave my hair feeling heavy. When I rinse it just feels healthy and soft but not slimy kind of soft. If that makes sense. I just leave for the length of my shower. So probably between 5 to 15 minutes. Works great!!
